Sunday morning news and notes

Breida out, Murray in, Ertz ?

The Sunday morning injury updates are coming in, and nothing too earth-shattering. The bigger issues seem to involve weather, although there are some developments on the injury front.

  • Matt Breida won't play for San Francisco. I wasn't too interested in Breida anyway, but it makes Tevin Coleman look a little better. San Francisco will still use a committee, though, with Raheem Mostert and probably Jeff Wilson.

  • Zach Ertz (hamstring) apparently wants to play for Philadelphia. Would be better for everyone (or most everyone, not counting the people who desperately want to use Ertz) if he winds up inactive, but some chance he'll play. I think he's at risk of limited snaps or leaving early. Personally, I'm using Dallas Goedert, though I'd feel much better about it if Ertz is inactive.

  • Kyler Murray (hamstring) will start for Arizona; I think he's fine to use. Assuming it's a minor issue that shouldn't prevent him from his usual mobility.

  • Weather will be an issue in some east coast games -- rain, wind. Packers-Giants, 49ers-Ravens, Jets-Bengals,Raiders-Kansas City most notably. Nothing to add to the Friday Update here; you might see more running than passing, and deep passing might be affected by the wind. But for some of these guys, they're not going to completely mothball the passing games. I still like Aaron Rodgers against the Giants and Patrick Mahomes against the Raiders. If I have comparable options, or am in a Daily game where I can switch to a quarterback of similar outlook but with no weather concern, I will consider it.
